At least three people have died after rainstorms and floods have ravaged the French Riviera which has been labelled as a 'natural disaster'.
The floods reportedly caused cars to be swept away by waters, roads and bridges destroyed which one official described as 'scenes of war' in southern France.
An elderly couple died in the seaside town of Le Lavandou and one other person in the town of Vidauban, local authorities have confirmed.
The couple's vehicle was swept away by floodwaters and the woman's body remained trapped inside the wreckage.
Authorities have launched an investigation to establish the cause of death, and situation on the ground has been described as 'quite difficult'.
